  2. here is a chart that even says so http://www.golfdigest.com/images/equipment/2012-11/eqsl02_wedges_bounce_intro.jpg
  3. heres my source http://golftips.golfsmith.com/degrees-bounce-golf-wedges-1293.html
  4. ok this is str8 from the golf smith website Low Bounce Clubs with bounce of less than 8 degrees are considered "low bounce" wedges, according to Publinks Golfer. Lob, pitching and gap wedges usually have the lowest bounce of all wedges, making them a good selection for tight lies, wet sand and hard turf. Low bounce translates into less opportunity for hitting a shot thin , as the sole of the club should sweep over the surface, rather than cut into it . In general, lob wedges have 0 to 10 degrees of bounce, pitching wedges have 2 to 5 degrees of bounce and gap wedges have 5 to 12 degrees of bounce, according to Learn About Golf. High Bounce Clubs with a bounce of more than 10 degrees are considered "high bounce" wedges, according to Publinks Golfer. Sand wedges and some specialty gap wedges usually have high bounce, making them a good choice for light sand, deep rough or a shaggy fairway. Because the angle of the swing will be steeper, the high bounce allows the club to slide over the surface and create the opportunity not only for clean impact, but also height on the shot. Sand wedges have the most amount of bounce of any wedge , usually between 10 and 16 degrees, according to Learn About Golf. Specialty gap wedges may have as much as 12 degrees of bounce, though most are lower. sooooooooooo
  5. Dustin Johnson, Ive met at the shell houston open and he just seems like a stuck up jerk who just thinks hes better than everyone else and treats everyone else bad.
  6. the ball flight is of average flight now, with the nike it was 10.5 and it went insanley high and its amazing it went anywhere, now i have the r11 at 9 degrees.
  7. So I just switched from my Nike VR Str8- Fit to an R11 Tour 9 with a stock stiff shaft. I was hitting my Nike around 275. I switched to the R11 becuase it felt better and could control better, but once I took it out to the links I was only hitting it around 240-260, I think I had the longest drive in my group about once that day. I'm not sure if its the shaft or the head. Any suggestions, I swing 97-104 with my driver.
  8. I live in Houston, and all the courses are like hitting of a concrete, all the pros i have talked to have suggested to have less bounce for harder ground, other wise with too much bounce you will just skull more shots.
  9. I get all of my club building done by a master club fitter in Houston, since I'm a little taller I have all my irons/ wedges and 1.25inches past standard so I can actually swing correctly, which made a big difference. But I'm trying to find some different wedges that are a little heavier and a lot of spin.
  10. Changing your shafts can cost a couple hundred dollars, so if you really like your irons you can change the shafts or you can just go get custom fit for a new set. But if you change your shafts I would suggest either Project X 6.0 for that swing speed or DG S400. But you definitely need different shafts, with a 100 mph swing speed and regular shafts your going to hit the ball too high, to far left, and not have consistent ball flight. I personally swing about 105 and I swing X-100s and it was really a benefit to go up to X-stiff, it gave me more control and consistency and a better ball flight. But I would suggest going to a professional club fitter for more advice.
  11. it depends. What kind of course do you play on? A soft grounds course or a hard grounds course? The more bounce your club has the more it digs into the ground. So a 3 iron is going to have less bounce than a 9 iron obviously. So if you play on soft pro like conditions course, you're going to want a lot of bounce, now if you play on a very dry and hard grounded course, aka Texas, you're going to want minimal bounce or your club is going to try to dig in to the ground more and just bounce up and you will end up skulling or blading the ball. Hopefully that helps, if not try going to your local club fitter for help.
  12. So I currently play a Nike SV Tour 56* with 14 bounce, with two pieces of lead tape, and a DG spinner shaft and an inch extension. I really like its heavy feel and the way it sticks, I currently hit between 100-105. I'm trying to find a good lob wedge and gap wedge but I want to get something different and a little newer. I want something with a heavier head and spins really well, and price and brand doesnt really matter. What do y'all suggest?
